The project includes a new university campus with a central pedestrian square surrounded by four buildings. On the existing street, the buildings appear as solid blocks, marked only by a vertical cut that includes the common staircases. On the internal square, the building blocks open up, like volumes excavated by multiple openings, loggias and set-backs. On the south side, the campus square open up towards the Piovego river park and joins urban space and green landscape.
